Lexware

Interact with the Lexware API

Overview

This node integrates with the Lexware API to perform various operations on different resources, including Quotations. Specifically, for the "Delete" operation under the "Quotations" resource, it allows users to delete a quotation by specifying its unique identifier. This is useful in scenarios where outdated or incorrect quotations need to be removed from the system to maintain data accuracy.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically deleting expired quotations as part of a workflow.
  • Removing test or draft quotations before finalizing reports.
  • Cleaning up quotations that were created in error.

Properties

Name Meaning
Quotation ID The unique identifier of the quotation to delete. This is required to specify which quotation will be removed.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the deletion operation. Typically, this includes confirmation of successful deletion or details about any errors encountered. The exact structure depends on the Lexware API response but generally confirms whether the quotation was deleted.

No binary data output is expected for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Lexware API.
  • Needs an API authentication token or key configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
  • Network access to the Lexware service endpoint.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent Quotation ID will likely cause an error.
    • Missing or incorrect API credentials will prevent the node from authenticating.
    • Network connectivity problems can cause timeouts or failures.
  • Error messages and resolutions:

    • "Unsupported resource" — Occurs if the resource parameter is set incorrectly; ensure "quotations" is selected.
    • API authorization errors — Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
    • Quotation not found — Check that the Quotation ID exists and is correct.
    • Network errors — Confirm network connectivity and Lexware API availability.
